Course Overview

What is Geetham?

• A Geetham is a devotional song in Carnatic music, characterized by its simple structure and consistent tempo.
• It typically consists of 10 to 12 avarthanams and may include sections instead of traditional components like pallavi, anupallavi, or charanas.
• Geethaṃs are sung from beginning to end without repetition, often concluding with a repeat of the opening part.
• These songs are usually in medium tempo and do not involve complex sangatis (variations) or alankarams (ornaments), focusing on natural flow and praise of the divine.
• Students are expected to have a foundational understanding of sarali svaras (basic notes) to alankaramas before attempting Geethaṃs.
